Hello,
I had a problem with my HDD and had been running scanning and repair for a week now where it stuck at 27% since the first day.
I'm using chkdsk r/ f/ c: to check my 1Tb of HDD.
It had been too long for me. What should I do next? Should I wait the process or what?
Thank you.

I'm going to go with no.
I think a week a plenty long enough for chkdsk to have done whatever it can to your 1 TB drive, especially if it is no longer progressing past 27% (even though those progress numbers are often wildly unreliable)
I suspect that the drive is no longer serviceable. Does the computer have a hard disk activity light? Can you see it flashing?
I would have expected some message in the Check Disk utility reporting a read error long before now.
You could try attaching it externally to another computer and see if it pops up in disk management or file explorer. I use an external USB connected SATA dock for that

They also make cables which will accomplish the same thing
